Artist: Disco Inferno
Album: Second Language
Release: 1994
Label: Rough Trade
Tracklist:
1. Second Language
2. The Athiest's Burden
3. At The End Of The Line
4. A Little Something
And here is the fourth in the line of five perfect EPs from Disco Inferno, as well as the first to be released after their masterpiece, D.I. Go Pop. Following up that monolith of an album had to have been a daunting task, but Disco Inferno pulled it off with such gusto that it seems almost effortless.
Second Language, while my least favorite of the five EPs, is still one of my favorite records ever. The title track has some absolutely enthralling Durutti Column-meets-Joshua Tree-era U2 guitar shit going on, while the other highlight, "The Athiest's Burden" is one of DI's best tracks with its pulsating synths that bubble and froth over the endearing bassline. Despite the frontloaded A-side, the B-side refuses to be upstaged. "At The End Of The Line" maintains a somewhat-Brechtian distance from the listener, yet still manages to be emotionally affecting, while "A Little Something" ends the EP on an extremely frenetic note. Ugh, It's sad to think there's only one more EP for me to post...
